*************

The tour is in the final stages of pre launch

Diego says "Sunkissed Waves is first on the list. You could just take the trod here. Jessica, or if you want a more public introduction, come in from the streets. Each has their advantage .. but me ? I would suggest a tour by city streets"

"You want a chance to meet the commoners of Sunkissed waves"

"Streets." She says definitively.

"That's going to be a bigger security risk" Coy DeBuke says

"Yes, but it's the only way to SEE Sunkissed waves. " Diego counters him "And Jessica knows that"

"Hopefully we are talking security from prodigals and such." Dryly.

"Hopefully" Coy says

"There will always be those displeased, but oakenshielding the carriage or whatever the girls travel in will help" Diego says

"If necessary. I would prefer them to see and be seen but not at risk to them. I will ride Cinder."

"That's another thing, do you want us to use magic to divert mortals subconciously from your path? Nothing harmful, just minor urges to take other paths?"

"Yes, and we'll send messages to invite Fae to observe."

Sir Jack ap Liam nods "Word will be easy to get out. MIght be a good idea to let them know that guards and knights will be on patrol in other areas too? Don't want some thinkiing they can get away with stuff while your focus is on the tour"

She nods. "Yes, see to it please."

Jack grins, trench coat fluttering he moves off to do that.

Nancy watches him go admiring "Damn Sidhe boys are pretty"

"Mm."

Diego sighs "And this is why I could never convince you to join my revolution, Nancy"

Nancy sticks her tongue out at her fellow satyr, then says "Not to be that person, but we can't have this so militarized that it sends the wrong message. I think we should ask the childings if they'd like to help make a banner or three ,streamers, give the tour a fun angle"

Jessica nods gravely. "Can you help them with that?"

"I'd love to" she says "Ash could use the help I suspect"

She nods. "Done."

And Nancy nods "I'll get on it now" And moves off

Diego watches her go, then he sighs "so much promise lost to her love of just b eing nice"

"Nothing wrong with being nice." Mildly.

"I know, but she could have been a true rebel, or something."

"Maybe, in a world so full of outrage, niceness is itself a form of rebellion?" Constance speaks up

Jess hides a smile and watches Diego 's response.

Diego sighs "Some outrage IS justified"

"Well it won't help us on this tour, niceness might" Constance scratches a few more notes. The scribe troll might be unaware that Coy is looking at her with adoration, or more likely, being a troll, she keeps her pleasure at it masked well "Countess ? I think a record of the tour should be kept. For posterity"

"Definitely. "

"Excellent. Should I go with you? Or will you keep records yourself? "

"I was counting on you to come with us."

"Then I shall be honored to do so. May I request that young Salma also keep notes?"

Diego says "You want a pooka to keep a ..journal of the journey?"

"Yes" Constance says

"Possibly a fictional account but why not?"

"I think she has academic skills that should be encouraged, but more than that... pooka or no, Salma has insight, she notices things and people and has a keen intellect. I think , between her pooka speak, there might be useful notes for even adults"

"Dame Ash, that reminds me. A word with you after?"

"Ah," Constance says "Dame Ash is with the children"

"Damn. Thought I saw her. Ok."

"I can get her if you like? " Tito Woden says "So far you haven't needed a Seer on this"

"Actually, do you think we been an open for the Tour?"

*omen

"I'll be happy to do some readings" Tito-Woden grins "Miss Zara was kind enough to share certain powerful secrets, for as she gazed upon me, she saw some greatness"

"Um. Ok."

"Yes, i will go to research, and later.. work the parting of Da'an's veil" He bows turns dramtically ,and withdraws. Half cloak fluttering

Once he's gone

"Sometimes I'm wondering if we couldn't get a better Seer" Diego says
